âWe got home to a clean house and happy dog. Chad followed instructions well and send great daily pictures and updates. Will be booking him in the future!â
âMallory was excellent sitting for us over a long weekend! She was very communicative over the whole period and gave our pup so much love. We will definitely be looking to hire Mallory anytime we need a walker or sitter. Bonus, she left our home spotless so our return home was super easy!â
âI couldnât have asked for a better house sitter. Ben stayed in my home for a week while I was on vacation and took wonderful care of our dog! I was able to relax knowing that my dog was in our home receiving lots of love and attention while we were away. We truly appreciated the care, responsibility and thoughtfulness Ben showed throughout the week. My dog was happy to see us when we got home but she was sad to see Ben leave. I would absolutely recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring house sitter. We will definitely use him again!â
âJamie took such good care of our two special needs dogs while we were away for a long trip. Sheâs super flexible, sent lots of updates and pictures, and we will absolutely have her watch the boys again! Thanks, Jamie!!â
About: Iâve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. Help friends when needed and enjoy walking puppers to stretch their legs. Dogs need love. I work from home during the day. Home often. Weekends can be tricky because of my kids come to stay for the weekends. I can work around your schedule My apartment complex has a built in dog park, plenty of walking paths, and very secure. Location is located on the Westerville/ New Albany border
âRyn was great with Watson. She spent a lot of time with him while we were away. Heâs a needy dog and Ryn gave him lots of love. I would have her watch Watson any time again. I would heartily recommend Ryn as a dog sitter.â
About: Absolutely obsessed with all fur babies! I have two playful French Bulldogs, Alfredo and Maple, so Iâm well-versed in picky eaters, stroller rides, medication administration, slobbery kisses, and snuggly (sometimes stinky) cuddles. I provide reliable, loving care tailored to each petâs needs, with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. With a fully remote job, Iâm home all day to give your pet the care they deserve. My community is fully walkable with sidewalks, dog parks, plenty of great sniff spots, and more! My home does have stairs so if your love bug needs special mobility accommodations, let me know! *SITTING* I do NOT offer overnight pet sitting. I will happily provide multiple check ins throughout the day, including late nights and early mornings! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! With a fully remote job, Iâm home all day to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention. My own dogs have set meal times, potty breaks, and play sessions, which makes it easy to incorporate other pets into our schedule. Whether itâs walks, playtime, snuggles on the couch, or medication administration, I make sure every pet gets the individualized care they need. In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment tailored to each petâs needs. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, plenty of snuggles, and a routine that includes regular meals, potty breaks, and exercise. My own dogs are friendly and playful, but I can also accommodate dogs who prefer their own space. Crate-trained dogs are welcome to bring their crate for a familiar, comfortable sleeping arrangement. Please note that my bedroom is on the second floor so if your furry buddy likes to have overnight cuddles, the use of stairs or being properly carried is required. For in-home pet care, I follow the ownerâs instructions closely to maintain their petâs normal routine. This includes feeding, administering medication if needed, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether that means sticking to their usual schedule or giving extra cuddles while their family is away. For sitting I will not provide overnight care, but will ensure a late night and early morning potty break.
âAbsolutely was wonderful! Monae stayed at our house for three days to watch our 3 girls and took amazing care of them. She was extremely responsive and an excellent communicator throughout the entire stay. She even came early in the morning to make sure the girls werenât left alone for too long and messaged with photos and updates which gave us complete peace of mind. We are so happy to have found someone we can truly trust. We will absolutely be booking her again!â
âHallie was the perfect fit for our pets and home. The meet and greet allowed Vanna and Scout to be comfortable with a new person to care for them and we came home to relaxed and happy fur babies! Hallie was a perfect communicator- photos, questions, updates were all very comforting as we were away. She has a relaxed demeanor that I know Vanna and Scout appreciated!â
âI couldnât be happier with the care provided for my dog and cat. She did a fantastic jobâsent regular photo updates, kept everything tidy, even ran the dishwasher and washed her towels before leaving. Very thoughtful and professional. My pets were clearly well cared for and happy. Iâll definitely be using her again!â
âMia was great watching my two dogs at my place for two nights. She was communicative, walked the dogs a bunch and loved on them. Will certainly be using Miaâs services again.â
âAwia was absolutely amazing! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely interested in learning about Rumi and his routine. She even followed up afterward with a thoughtful message letting me know she was looking forward to caring for him and would take great care of himâwhich she absolutely did. While I was away, Awia provided regular updates, including texts and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She was communicative, reliable, and respectful of my home, making her an exceptional sitter and house guest. It was clear that Rumi was in great hands the entire time. I highly recommend Awia and would not hesitate to book with her again!â
âGabby is always so attentive to detail! One of my dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes which comes with a host of problems and I was so anxious to leave him, especially after a recent trip to the emergency vet. Gabby house sat with both of my dogs and handled my plethora of notes/instructions. She took Knuckles for a walk, gave him his insulin, and even did some things outside of taking care of the dogs - handled some package deliveries and brought in our trash cans.â
âKelsey is SO kind. Her love and care for my cats was apparent from the first video update she sent. She was patient when the cats were being quirky and she went above and beyond to ensure their routines were followed and they were as happy as possible. I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for everything, Kelsey!!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minerva Park
Erica is fantastic and 100000% would recommend! She took care of our anxious pup for 10 days and sent a ton of updates on all the fun things they were doing together. We could tell that she really cared not just about our dogs welfare but also about her happiness. She was also an outstanding house guest and left our house cleaner than how we left it.
I couldnât have asked for a better house sitter. Ben stayed in my home for a week while I was on vacation and took wonderful care of our dog! I was able to relax knowing that my dog was in our home receiving lots of love and attention while we were away. We truly appreciated the care, responsibility and thoughtfulness Ben showed throughout the week. My dog was happy to see us when we got home but she was sad to see Ben leave. I would absolutely recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring house sitter. We will definitely use him again!
We have used Jamie several times in the past and this time was just as great as all of the others! Our cats are a bit more work and Jamie is excellent with administering the meds, keeping them active & engaged and keeping us updated with pictures & videos. As usual, the house was in excellent order when we returned and the cats were content. Jamie's schedule is quite full and we were very happy there was an opening. Will definitely book again!
Dana was AMAZING! She sent me such a thoughtful âpupdateâ after spending the evening with my dog and included so many sweet pictures and videos. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and followed all of my directions perfectly. I felt so comfortable knowing my pup was in such great hands. I would 100% use her again and highly recommend her!
This was my first time having someone come to my home and sit our dogs while we were gone. I have two very anxious dogs, and after initial problems, my dogs eventually warmed up to their sitters. I appreciate their patience with Ava and Lucky very much and highly recommend their services.
Madalaina watched our three dogs (including 6-month-old puppy) while we were out of town for an extended weekend. She was very communicative regarding how they were doing and shared the cutest pictures! She took time to clarify expectations and planned arrival and departure. Additionally, she let us know when she was taking off and sincerely appreciate her excellent care of our home as well. Would highly recommend her services to others!
Abby and Stephen were wonderful and took such great care of our two large dogs! We donât often travel without our fur babies because we are a bit extra as pet parents and it can be hard to find people who can watch multiple dogs, but they kept us updated and they were so happy the whole time. Thank you for such wonderful peace of mind while we were away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Minerva Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Minerva Park is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,462 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Minerva Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Minerva Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Minerva Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Minerva Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justiceâs National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
